42154 Ford GT MODs and improvements

[SNIPE]

Hi all,

So, this thread is to include our MODs of set 42154 FORD GT.

Here are some of my thoughts:

• Lowered suspension in order to make the gap in the wheel arches less pronounced (but I also want enough suspension travel to be at least noticable)

• HOG on the steering wheel.

• Replace some blue/gray/whatever pins and axles with black pins/axles.

----Much later on----

• Steering via spike prime small angular motor.

• Drive (not sure what motor is both best yet, obviously space is at a premium in this set, but I also don't want a crawler GT40.

• Maybe a small 2 speed gearbox, non RC probably.

There is almost every part in LDRAW to at least build it, but its tedious, and it would take longer than march 1st, where I would already have the set in real life.

Regards, Snipe

I got this set now and i had the problem, that the door’s didn’t close as smooth as they should. So i did an upgrade with a few parts.

Yeah I hated how the doors were done in the original set so a mod for that would be good.
